avery's phone screen lit up as she positioned herself in front of a window for the best lighting. drew threw himself down on the couch next to her, which caused her to slightly jump and shoot him a glare. he laughed and eventually, she did, too. he grabbed a pillow and held onto it as she finished setting it up.

once clicking the button on her phone to start the live, avery relaxed into the couch. her hand barely touched drew's on the couch but neither thought to retract it, simply comfortable in the other's presence. viewers slowly starting to roll in, as avery still only had around three hundred thousand followers and not as much as the main cast.

"hey guys!" avery cheered, a lively smile on her face as she watched vibrant hearts start to fly up from the right corner of her screen.

drew gave a relaxed wave as he ran his hand through his hair, "hola!"

—— rudeth: drew you're so sexy

"hi rudy," avery drawled, unamused as drew shot the camera an exaggerated wink for his friend.

biting her lip as she scanned the comments, avery's eyes lit up as she viewed the surplus of positivity about the show. her stomach fluttered with butterflies at the thought of the excitement she could share with the fans. while most were concerned with the general hype of outer banks, a few directly called attention to their love for her character, carson.

—— username: do you ship carson and rafe be honest

"i think carson and rafe had an emotional connection for sure at the beginning but by the end it was all physical," avery shrugged, "so i think it was an interesting dynamic but once carson realized that her kook friends all kinda sucked except sarah, rafe was not great for her, no."

"my man," drew chuckled with a crooked smile that fell when avery reached over and whacked him.

—— hichasestokes: thank you for hitting him avery

—— username: we stan drew not rafe 🙏🏼

"but for real, uh, i think that they just ended up using each other for their needs," drew said seriously with a noticeable frown, "it was pretty toxic."

avery nodded with her lips pulled in a tight and knowing side-smile. drew brushed her hair off of his shoulder and behind her as she leaned forward and focused on the responses. she smiled lazily without removing her eyes from the screen.

"ooh, okay," avery piped up, leaning back upon reading an incoming comment and turned to drew, "someone wants to know where they can buy the ducks you say are for sale in your instagram bio?"

drew stifled a laugh and thought for a second, running his tongue over his teeth, "you guys can have avery, i guess."

pretending to pout, avery spoke, "anything is better than living with you." her puppy eyes were on full display.

"you chose this, aves," drew retorted with a smirk as he gestured to his apartment and then finally himself.

—— username: say it with me AVES

—— username: currently crying over the fact that nobody will look at me the way he looks at her

"anyway," avery stuck her tongue out at him, "samantha asks if i have any thoughts about a season 2 arc for carson if we get renewed!"

"so i think carson has this sensitive side which i can relate to," avery annunciated with a small smile, "so i would predict that she would deal with a lot of guilt because it's already apparent she feels as though breaking up with rafe was what finally made him snap."

drew nodded thoughtfully, "i want carson to kick rafe's ass, honestly."

"can we practice this scene?" avery suggested with a laugh, fully preparing herself as she stood up from the couch.

drew stared at her with an incredulous look. he turned back to the comments and seeing them to be in agreement, he rolled his eyes before putting his hands on his legs and hauling himself up from the couch. before a second could pass, avery had sprinted across the room, just barely in view.

"i knew i didn't run track for nothing! eat my dust, drew!"

"try me, murphy!"

the frame managed to catch drew cornering avery by the front door, only for her to spin around him to escape his outstretched arms.

"that was the coolest thing i've ever done," she giggled breathlessly as she made a break for her phone.

picking up the device, avery ran for her room in a slight daze. to her misfortune, drew had stopped in front of it during the period of time that her eyes were locked on her appearance in the screen. his arms were behind his back on the door and a wicked grin spread across his face.

a silent curse left her lips that she prayed her mother would ignore if she happened to be on and doubled back to the couch. drew's long legs beat her there by a fraction of a second and as her leg was swung over the side, he took her phone and shoved her foot backwards. she squealed as she fell over and drew held a serious face for nearly a second before cracking up.

—— hichasestokes: i think you broke avery >:(
—— username: LMAO WASTED

"hey! i'm fragile!" avery shouted from behind the couch.

luckily, her fall had been broken by a blanket that had been left on the floor despite the otherwise tidy living room. she remained on the floor for a second, blowing a strand of hair out of her face as she regained her breath. with drew's face occupying the screen, avery laughed at the face she could only imagine him pulling.
